The stamps highlight bridges over the Drina River and nearby locations — structures that play cultural and historical roles in the Podrinje region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some of these bridges (like the one at Zvornik) have significance for local transport and heritage.
Note: These are Bosnia & Herzegovina (Serbian post) issues, which were distinct from stamps issued simultaneously by other postal administrations within Bosnia (e.g., Croatian-post or Federation issues), each with their own thematic sets around that time.
